...in representing its brand personality; and 2) its effectiveness in conveying the desired traits. The study was conducted through a quantitative approach in which Gucci Envy Me and Christian Dior J’adore were examined as the subject perfume brand to a sample group of 400 women at the age of 18 years and older in representation of the brands’ target consumers. In conducting the study, the sample group was given a survey to examine pictures of package in isolation and in their presentation through prints advertisements. Through comparative investigation, the findings suggest that Gucci Envy Me’s packaging failed to effectively convey the intended brand personality without its manifestation in print advertisement; whereas Christian Dior J’adore succeeded in conveying the intended brand personality through packaging in both isolation and through print advertisement. In specific case, Gucci Envy Me’s packaging alone conveys – in misrepresentation – its brand personality to be good looking and charming, While its representation in the prints advertisement conveys the intended trait of youth. On the other hand, Christian Dior J’adore’s packaging both in isolation and in print advertisement achieved their intended purpose in alignment to portray brand personality to be glamorous, upper class, feminine, and confident. In this respect, the study shows that Gucci Envy Me’s packaging alone is insufficient to effectively portray its brand personality in entirety; it requires...

...This essay endeavours to assess the successfulness of the group presentation with the aim to reflect upon the group work as a whole and discuss any improvements that could of been made. Using relevant theories such as Belbin’s (2012) team work theory and Tuckman’s (1965) theory of group work in order to analyse the group work alongside providing suggestions for improvements in the future. Task 1 - Key issues and theories relating to group work and how these are applicable The presentation group (PG) consisted of 5 members and the task was to provide a 20 minute presentation on Total Quality Management. The PG was given 3 weeks to prepare the presentation, and was performed in front of 2 lecturers and filmed for later grading purposes. The PG gave a strong presentation and bonded well prior to giving the presentation. However the lack of attendance of group member B meant that she was behind and the day of the presentation was still unsure of her role, this could of been corrected by providing more information for this group member whilst she was away or by ensuring that the whole group attended the meetings. Another issue was time allocation, not enough time was...

...Individual Reflective Essay At the foundation of our group for the tutorial presentation there were four members. Myself, Jonathon Kir, Gerald Loh and Qais. We all got along together well and exchanged phone numbers to communicate about the tutorial presentation. After discussing our work schedules we concluded that we would do our presentation on week 11. We also discussed the two case studies and decided on doing case study six ‘the challenges of my first job at ASACURA international’. I suggested we should also communicate with a Facebook group. The Facebook group allowed us to share ideas and upload our individual contributions efficiently. Similar to numerous organisations in Australia our group was made up of differing dynamics. Part of the challenge to the presentation was the different dynamics and personalities within the group. From the early stages of the organisational behaviour course I observed that Qais appeared to have personality traits that aligned with the neuroticism trait from the five factor model (Mckshane, 2013 44-45). Qais appeared anxious and seemed self-conscious, due to his lack of contribution to group discussions and shyness towards myself, Jonathon and Gerald. Qais rarely spoke to the group unless asked a question and I felt like it was quite difficult to judge how Quais felt on critical issues relating to the presentation as he did not contribute any alternate ideas, thus I found that I needed to make a greater effort and help Qais by encouraging...

...------------------------------------------------- “Hey Mom, What’s on Your Facebook? Comparing Facebook Disclosure and Privacy in Adolescents and Adults “ Abstract: People of all ages are increasingly exposed to online environments that encourage them to share and connect with others. However, there is a perception that adolescents are particularly susceptible to these cues and share more online than do other age groups. With a group of 288 adolescents and 285 adults, we explored differences and similarities in use of Facebook for information sharing and use of the controls to protect their privacy. Adolescents reported disclosing more information on Facebook and using the privacy settings less than adults. Despite these differences, the results indicated that adolescents and adults were more similar than different in the factors that predicted information disclosure and control. Adolescents spent more time on Facebook, which partially mediated the relationship between group (adolescents vs. adults) and disclosure. Self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between group and information control, with adults having higher self-esteem than adolescents. Readings: Keywords privacy, self-disclosure, social media, online communication The news is filled with stories about the dangers of sharing personal information online, the difficulties in protecting personal privacy, and the privacy challenges of websites such as Google and Facebook. Despite...

...In this essay I will be reflecting on the effectiveness of working in short term groups who have been brought together in a study environment. My group was formed to work on a presentation where the topic was the way different types of teams communicate. My group consisted of five people: Brendon, Dominic, Bridgette, Kelly and myself. I have worked with everyone in this group before, however not as a group, and was confident that we would make a good team. I have a very dominant personality and tend to take the leadership role in these situations and so I took the lead (Thoms, Moore & Scott 1996), however it was also a collaboration, everyone gave their ideas and all ideas were discussed. I will be exploring the advantages and disadvantages of group work within the University setting based on my own group experiences. According to (Hodgkinson-Williams, Slay & Siebörger, 2008 and Lave & Wenger, 1991) the use of group work is an increasingly recognised way for students to problem solve and develop transferable skills which are necessary for the workplace. Group work can also help with expanding the student’s emotional intelligence (Landau & Meirovich, 2011). Emotional intelligence is a quality that employers are now looking for more and more in their employees, even to the point where learning about emotional intelligence is part of management training and development. ADVANTAGES It is believed that the greatest focus of groups, especially those...

...interview a business personality. The theme of our assignment was ‘SUCCESS IN BUSINESS’. This was really an appealing challenge for me as I was introduced to this type of quality education for the first time in my life, and had to undergo a series of procedures which were advised by my lecturer. The lecturer divided the whole class in groups of four or five and wanted us to work on this assignment as a team, which was a great thought as we were entering the first phase of our professional life. All of my group members were new to each other, all with different mindsets, views, and lifestyles; the only thing that was common among us more or less was the education we had, the level of enthusiasm that we shared and the notes provided by the lecturer to help us accomplish our task. The first and the most important task that our group faced was to have a sober but an eye-catching name for our group so as to represent ourselves in front of the whole class, all of the group members came out with different ideas and wanted their pick to be the group name, being the team leader I was trying to brainstorm all of the incredible names that we had in our minds for the group, but soon their was a conflict arising because of the difference of opinions, at last we rationalized our options and hammered out in favour of ‘BUSINESS GIANTS’ as we all shared the inspiration of being giants in the business world. The next phase of my assignment was to select a business personality to interview regarding...

...Utilizing the Meyers-Briggs Personality Test XXXXXXXXXXX Liberty University Online Abstract Utilizing the Meyers-Briggs Personality test, I have learned that my personality typology is INTJ. Personalities can be broken down into 4 categories, that consist of 2 types. This paper will develop each of the 4 categories in the INTJ typology (I - Introversion, N - iNtuition, T - Thinking and J - Judging), and the INTJ typology itself to confirm the test validity in determining my personality profile using the application of my personal experiences. I will also discuss aspects of Organizational behavior that were expressed in the writings of Kroeger, O.; Thuesen, J.; & Rutledge, H. Type Talk to Work, and in the power point presentation by Fisher, K (2009). A World View Perspective on Organizational Behavior.

...Examining Self-Reports and Peer Reports Submitted by: Jespreet Bhatia Date: January 31, 2016 Self-Reports vs. Peer Reports The most common way to measure an individual’s personality is through self-report assessments. Psychologists and researchers use self and peer report methods to assess personality attributes and behaviour. These reporting methods provide the ability to gain feedback on changes of one’s personality, evaluating the effectiveness of therapy, to aid in diagnosing the psychological problem, and establish a treatment for the individual. The main goal is to gain knowledge of the individual personality and the influences of their behaviour. Self-reports are effective and inexpensive as to oppose to other testing methods, which require more party involvement (Paunonen & O’Neill, 2010). The different varieties of self-reports can be displayed as direct, indirect and open-ended rating methods. Direct self-rating is the simplest form and directly report on their own personality. Indirect self-rating differs as it is based on the researchers interpretations of the individuals (Paulhus & Vazive, 2007). This can prevent “faking” because the respondent will not know what is being assessed. Open-ended self-descriptions differ as it is derived from the individual’s free description of themselves without any structured measures like the other reports (Paulhus & Vazive, 2007). As for peer reports, an example are projective...

...minutes long presentation in front of the class. I signed group number four which my presentation was four weeks after, so I could have enough time to prepare. The group project was five people in a group, and I was in a totally new group that we did not know each other in the group. Our group was very diverse, there were two from Asia (included me), one from Africa, another one from Europe, and the last one is from Canada. I was very excited about the group diversity because we can have many ideas for the project. We gave our contact E-mail to John, who is from Canada. He was willing to be the contact person in this group. This group seemed to be very productive at the beginning, because we had assigned all the work to everyone in the group and set the time for next meeting. In fact, the other person from Asia, Allen, he organized how we can do in this project. We all discussed which part in the project we were interested in, so everyone can do their own preference. We aimed our goal to get above eighty percent in this project, which was a huge challenge for us. And, the professor in this class expected higher quality of performance from students than other professors I have met. However, there were some problems and conflicts occurred in the group. When next meeting, some people did the same work, and one person did not even finish his work. I was so nervous although we still had three weeks to perform. The professor asked for the report one week before our presentation. Basically...
